Shipping Toxic Fracking Waste on Our Waterways is Too Dangerous.

Tell the Coast Guard: Don't Ship Fracking Waste on U.S. Waterways. The oil and gas industry wants to ship toxic fracking waste down our nation's waterways. They are creating millions upon millions of gallons of toxic fracking waste every year, and running out of places to dump it, so they want to take it downstream to dump in places like Ohio, Louisiana and Texas.

Footage of Aging Tar Sands Pipelines Beneath Great Lakes

This past July, 2013 National Wildlife Federation (NWF) conducted a diving expedition to obtain footage of aging oil pipelines strung across one of the most sensitive locations in the Great Lakes, and possibly the world: the Straits of Mackinac. Footage of these pipelines has never been released to the public until now.

Protect our water from dangerous fracking

Three different communities showed evidence of groundwater contamination linked to nearby fracking activity. The EPA started investigating, but abruptly shut these investigations down.

Last month, the EPA’s own internal watchdog said that the risk faced by residents in Parker County is undetermined. The EPA is supposed to protect us from powerful companies, but it seems to be backing down from oil and gas companies.

Tar Sands Oil Extraction - The Dirty Truth

Medical gag order’ on health risks from fracking

November 01, 2013

Earlier this month (October), a research team out of Duke University examined Pennsylvania wastewater and found what they described as “alarmingly” high levels of radioactivity, salts, metals, and other potentially harmful sediments.

Yet the “medical gag rule” forbids doctors like Rodriguez from going into depth about the health problems that chemicals from fracking can cause. Critics have said the bill’s passage, and the court’s refusal to grant Dr. Rodriguez the right to speak freely with his patients, is an indication of just how entrenched the oil and gas lobby is in state politics. ref: http://rt.com/usa/medical-gag-rule-risks-fracking-053/

Demand A Fracking Moratorium on our Public Lands!

The oil and gas industry is targeting our national forests, wildlife refuges and other cherished wildlands for dangerous fracking -- and the Obama Administration is preparing to let them run roughshod over our natural heritage. Also at stake: the health of surrounding communities and clean drinking water for millions of Americans. Call on President Obama to rein in the fracking juggernaut by imposing a fracking moratorium on all federal lands.

On Tuesday, nearly 100 people at an elementary school in Northern Peru were made violently ill when a plane fumigating nearby fields released weed-killer.
